Join us in the church for a concert offered by our music ministry. We will pay prayerful tribute to those who have served as military and first responders as we commemorate the 25th anniversary of 9/11. In prayer, Scripture, and song, we will also remember those who were victims of this senseless tragedy. In addition, we will remember all those who have fought for our freedoms these 250 years of our nation, especially those who served in Pearl Harbor 85 years ago.
Have you been thinking about trying Hallow? Well, wait no more! Hallow is available FREE for all St. Peter parishioners. Join us on the St. Peter Hallow page and see for yourself why Hallow is the number one Catholic app.
